Quotes –
- “GMOs themselves are quite dangerous and show a lot of toxic results. But Roundup is an antibiotic. It kills the beneficial bacteria.”
- “With other information coming together pointing to GMOs and Roundup as a major contributor to the rise of disease in the world.”
- “If you had to choose between them, organic is more important than GMO.”
- “If you aren’t taking note of it, if you aren’t measuring it, you’re not able to see the improvement happen. And so understanding where your benchmark is, where you’re starting now, is really important.”
- “We are given this incredible gift of a body and our life and we get one.”
